Abstract
⺠The Combined Activated Sludge-Anaerobic Digestion Model (CASADM) is introduced. ⺠CASADM is applied to WWTPs with and without anaerobic digester sludge (AD) recycle. ⺠Negative AD SRTs with sludge recycle results in more CH4 and less sludge wasting. ⺠Longer system SRTs with sludge recycle provide greater EPS and biomass hydrolysis. ⺠Fermenters and methanogens survive in activated sludge, making CH4 in the settlers.
